I am a bit stuck. I have a CSV which includes:
Site Name
Latitude
Longitude.
This CSV has 100,000 locations. I need to generate a comma separated list for each location, showing the other locations within 5KM
I have tried the attached, which transposes the table & gives me 100,000 columns with 100,000 rows and the distance populated as the result. But I am not sure how to just make a new pandas column which has a list of all the sites within 5KM.
Can you help?
from geopy.distance import geodesic
def distance(row, csr):
lat = row['latitude']
long = row['longitude']
lat_long = (lat, long)
try:
return round(geodesic(lat_long, lat_long_compare).kilometers,2)
except:
return 9999
for key, value in d.items():
lat_compare = value['latitude']
long_compare = value['longitude']
lat_long_compare = (lat_compare, long_compare)
csr = key
df[key] = df.apply([distance, csr], axis=1)
Some sample data can be:
destinations = { 'bigben' : {'latitude': 51.510357,
'longitude': -0.116773},
'heathrow' : {'latitude': 51.470020,
'longitude': -0.454295},
'alton_towers' : {'latitude': 52.987662716,
'longitude': -1.888829778}
}
bigben is 0.8KM from the London Eye
heathrow is 23.55KM from the London Eye
alton_towers is 204.63KM from the London Eye
So, in this case, the field should show only big ben.
So we get:
Site | Sites within 5KM
28, BigBen
Here is one way with NearestNeighbors.
from sklearn.neighbors import NearestNeighbors
# data from your input
df = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(destinations, orient='index').rename_axis('Site Name').reset_index()
radius = 50 #change to whatever, in km
# crate the algo with the raidus and the metric for geospatial distance
neigh = NearestNeighbors(radius=radius/6371, metric='haversine')
# fit the data in radians
neigh.fit(df[['latitude', 'longitude']].to_numpy()*np.pi/180)
# extract result and transform to get the expected output
df[f'Site_within_{radius}km'] = (
pd.Series(neigh.radius_neighbors()[1]) # get a list of index for each row
.explode()
.map(df['Site Name']) # get the site name from row index
.groupby(level=0) # transform back to row-row relation
.agg(list) # can use ', '.join instead of list
)
print(df)
Site Name latitude longitude Site_within_50km
0 bigben 51.510357 -0.116773 [heathrow]
1 heathrow 51.470020 -0.454295 [bigben]
2 alton_towers 52.987663 -1.888830 [nan]
Another way
from sklearn.neighbors import DistanceMetric
from math import radians
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
#To Radians
df['latitude'] = np.radians(df['latitude'])
df['longitude'] = np.radians(df['longitude'])
#Pair the cities
df[['latitude','longitude']].to_numpy()
#Assume a sperical radius of 6373
dist = DistanceMetric.get_metric('haversine')#DistanceMetric class df=pd.DataFrame(dist.pairwise(df[['latitude','longitude']].to_numpy())*6373,columns=df.index.unique(), index=df.index.unique())
s=df.gt(0)&df.le(50)
df['Site_within_50km']=s.agg(lambda x: x.index[x].values, axis=1)#Filter
bigben heathrow alton_towers Site_within_50km
bigben 0.000000 23.802459 203.857533 [heathrow]
heathrow 23.802459 0.000000 195.048961 [bigben]

I would like to know how I can create a gridded map of a country(i.e. Singapore) with resolution of 200m x 200m squares. (50m or 100m is ok too)
I would then use the 'nearest neighbour' technique to assign a rainfall data and colour code to each square based on the nearest rainfall station's data.
[I have the latitude,longitude & rainfall data for all the stations for each date.]
Then, I would like to store the data in an Array for each 'gridded map' (i.e. from 1-Jan-1980 to 31-Dec-2021)
Can this be done using python?
P.S Below is a 'simple' version I did as an example to how the 'gridded' map should look like for 1 particular day.

Thank you so much!
Can this be done using python? YES
I have previously provided a similar answer binning spatial dataframe. Reference that also for concepts
you have noted that you are working with Singapore geometry and rainfall data. To setup an answer I have sourced this data from government sources
for purpose on answer I have used 2kmx2km grid so when plotting to demonstrate answer resource utilisation is reduced
core concept: create a grid of box polygons that cover the total bounds of the geometry. Note it's important to use UTM CRS here so that bounds in meters make sense. Once boxes are created remove boxes that are within total bounds but do not intersect with actual geometry
next create a geopandas dataframe of rainfall data. Use longitude and latitude of weather station to create points
final step, join_nearest() grid geometry with rainfall data geometry and data
clearly this final data frame gdf_grid_rainfall is a data frame, which is effectively an array. You can use as an array as you please ...
have provided a folium and plotly interactive visualisations that demonstrate clearly solution is working

I have some lat/long coordinates and need to confirm if they are with the city of Atlanta, GA. I'm testing it out but it doesn't seem to work.
I got a geojson from here which appears to be legit:
https://gis.atlantaga.gov/?page=OPEN-DATA-HUB
import pandas as pd
import geopandas
atl = geopandas.read_file('Official_City_Boundary.geojson')
atl['geometry'] # this shows the image of Atlanta which appears correct
I plug in a couple of coordinates I got from Google Maps:
x = [33.75865421788594, -84.43974601192079]
y = [33.729117878816, -84.4017757998275]
z = [33.827871937500255, -84.39646813516548]
df = pd.DataFrame({'latitude': [x[0], y[0], z[0]], 'longitude': [x[1], y[1], z[1]]})
geometry = geopandas.points_from_xy(df.longitude, df.latitude)
points = geopandas.GeoDataFrame(geometry=geometry)
points
geometry
0 POINT (-84.43975 33.75865)
1 POINT (-84.40178 33.72912)
2 POINT (-84.39647 33.82787)
But when I check if the points are in the boundary, only one is true:
atl['geometry'].contains(points)
0 True
1 False
2 False
Why are they not all true? Am I doing it wrong?
I found some geometry similar to what you refer to
an alternative approach is to use intersects() to find the contains relationship. NB use of unary_union as the Atlanta geometry I downloaded contains multiple polygons
import pandas as pd
import geopandas
from pathlib import Path
atl = geopandas.read_file(Path.home().joinpath("Downloads").joinpath('Official_City_Council_District_Boundaries.geojson'))
atl['geometry'] # this shows the image of Atlanta which appears correct
x = [33.75865421788594, -84.43974601192079]
y = [33.729117878816, -84.4017757998275]
z = [33.827871937500255, -84.39646813516548]
df = pd.DataFrame({'latitude': [x[0], y[0], z[0]], 'longitude': [x[1], y[1], z[1]]})
geometry = geopandas.points_from_xy(df.longitude, df.latitude)
points = geopandas.GeoDataFrame(geometry=geometry, crs="epsg:4326")
points.intersects(atl.unary_union)
0 True
1 True
2 True
dtype: bool
As it is said in documentation:
It does not check if an element of one GeoSeries contains any element
of the other one.
So you should use a loop to check all points.
I have a dataframe that records concentrations for several different locations in different years, with a high temporal frequency (<1 hour). I am trying to make a bar/multibar plot showing mean concentrations, at different locations in different years
To calculate mean concentration, I have to apply quality control filters to daily and monthly data.
My approach is to first apply filters and resample per year and then do the grouping by location and year.
Also, out of all the locations (in the column titled locations) I have to choose only a few rows. So, I am slicing the original dataframe and creating a new dataframe with selected rows.
I am not able to achieve this using the following code:
date=df['date']
location = df['location']
df.date = pd.to_datetime(df.date)
year=df.date.dt.year
df=df.set_index(date)
df['Year'] = df['date'].map(lambda x: x.year )
#Location name selection/correction in each city:
#Changing all stations:
df['location'] = df['location'].map(lambda x: "M" if x == "mm" else x)
#New dataframe:
df_new = df[(df['location'].isin(['K', 'L', 'M']))]
#Data filtering:
df_new = df_new[df_new['value'] >= 0]
df_new.drop(df_new[df_new['value'] > 400].index, inplace = True)
df_new.drop(df_new[df_new['value'] <2].index, inplace = True)
diurnal = df_new[df_new['value']].resample('12h')
diurnal_mean = diurnal.mean()[diurnal.count() >= 9]
daily_mean=diurnal_mean.resample('d').mean()
df_month=daily_mean.resample('m').mean()
df_yearly=df_month[df_month['value']].resample('y')
#For plotting:
df_grouped = df_new.groupby(['location', 'Year']).agg({'value':'sum'}).reset_index()
sns.barplot(x='location',y='value',hue='Year',data= df_grouped)
This is one of the many errors that cropped up:
"None of [Float64Index([22.73, 64.81, 8.67, 19.98, 33.12, 37.81, 39.87, 42.29, 37.81,\n 36.51,\n ...\n 11.0, 40.0, 23.0, 80.0, 50.0, 60.0, 40.0, 80.0, 80.0,\n 17.0],\n dtype='float64', length=63846)] are in the [columns]"
ERROR:root:Invalid alias: The name clear can't be aliased because it is another magic command.
This is a sample dataframe, showing what I need to plot; value column should ideally represent resampled values, after performing the quality control operations and resampling.

date location value
2017-10-21 08:45:00+05:30 8335 M 339.3

2017-08-18 15:45:00+05:30 8662 N 46.5
This is how the a part of the actual data should look like, after selecting the chosen locations. I am a new user so cannot attach a screenshot of the graph I require. This query is an extension of the query I had posted earlier , with the additional requirement of plotting resampled data instead of simple value counts. Iteration over years to plot different group values as bar plot in pandas
Any help will be much appreciated.
Fundamentally, your errors come with this unclear indexing where you are passing continuous, float values of one column for rowwise selection of index which currently is a datetime type.
df_new[df_new['value']] # INDEXING DATETIME USING FLOAT VALUES
...
df_month[df_month['value']] # COLUMN value DOES NOT EXIST
Possibly, you meant to select the column value (out of the others) during resampling.
diurnal = df_new['value'].resample('12h')
diurnal.mean()[diurnal.count() >= 9]
daily_mean = diurnal_mean.resample('d').mean()
df_month = daily_mean.resample('m').mean() # REMOVE value BEING UNDERLYING SERIES
df_yearly = df_month.resample('y')
However, no where above do you retain location for plotting. Hence, instead of resample, use groupby(pd.Grouper(...))
# AGGREGATE TO KEEP LOCATION AND 12h
diurnal = (df_new.groupby(["location", pd.Grouper(freq='12h')])["value"]
.agg(["count", "mean"])
.reset_index().set_index(['date'])
)
# FILTER
diurnal_sub = diurnal[diurnal["count"] >= 9]
# MULTIPLE DATE TIME LEVEL MEANS
daily_mean = diurnal_sub.groupby(["location", pd.Grouper(freq='d')])["mean"].mean()
df_month = diurnal_sub.groupby(["location", pd.Grouper(freq='m')])["mean"].mean()
df_yearly = diurnal_sub.groupby(["location", pd.Grouper(freq='y')])["mean"].mean()
print(df_yearly)

I'm attempting to create a BoxPlot using Bokeh. When I get to the section where I need to identify outliers, it fails if a given category has no outliers.
If I remove the "problem" category, the BoxPlot executes properly. it's only when I attempt to create this BoxPlot with a category that has no outliers it fails.
Any instruction on how to remedy this?
The failure occurs at the commented section "Prepare outlier data for plotting [...]"

I expect that the Box-and-whisker portion of categories with no outliers merely show up without the outlier dots.

QUESTION:
From this df I want to create x many lines graphs (one graph per stock) with y many lines (price, and SMAs). How can I do this with matplotlib? Could this be done with a for loop and save the individuals plots as the loop gets iterated? If so how?
First import import matplotlib.pyplot as plt.
Then it depends whether you want x many individual plots or one plot with x many subplots:
Individual plots
df.plot(y=[0,1])
df.plot(y=[2,3])
df.plot(y=[4,5])
df.plot(y=[6,7])
df.plot(y=[8,9])
plt.show()
You can also save the individual plots in a loop:
for i in range(0,9,2):
df.plot(y=[i,i+1])
plt.savefig('{}.png'.format(i))
Subplots
fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=2, ncols=3)
df.plot(ax=axes[0,0],y=[0,1])
df.plot(ax=axes[0,1],y=[2,3])
df.plot(ax=axes[0,2],y=[4,5])
df.plot(ax=axes[1,0],y=[6,7])
df.plot(ax=axes[1,1],y=[8,9])
plt.show()
See https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.DataFrame.plot.html for options to customize your plot(s).
The best approach is to make a function that is dependent on the size of your lists x and y. Thereby the function should be as follows:
def generate_SMA_graphs(df):
columnNames = list(df.head(0))
print("CN:\t", columnNames)
print(len(columnNames))
count = 0
for stock in stock_list:
stock_iter = count * (len(moving_average_period_list) + 1)
sma_iter = stock_iter + 1
for moving_average_period in moving_average_period_list:
fig = plt.figure()
df.plot(y=[columnNames[stock_iter], columnNames[sma_iter]])
plt.xlabel('Time')
plt.ylabel('Price ($)')
graph_title = columnNames[stock_iter] + " vs. " + columnNames[sma_iter]
plt.title(graph_title)
plt.grid(True)
plt.savefig(graph_title.replace(" ", "") + ".png")
print("\t\t\t\tCompleted: ", graph_title)
plt.close(fig)
sma_iter += 1
count += 1
With the code above, irrespective how ever long either list is (for x or y, stock list or SMA list) the above function will generate a graph comparing the original price with every SMA for that given stock.
